Dame Fashion is a notoriouslv tickle and
fanclful goddess, full of whims and vaga-
rIe8, but not all of her freaks are so pretty
and pleasing as the idea at present adopt
ed by the ladies of London, who have
eschewed entirely white undertaking, and
vino wear every garment beneath their
dresses OF one uniform color. Our own
ladies long ago adopted merino, or silk
union garments, for wear next the body,
but the prevailing English fashion is to
wear no article Of muslin or cambria. with
the exception Of the night dress: and the
entire outfit, as ] say, including the stock
iugs, is chosen of a uniform color, say pale
lavender, pink or blue.
The idea Is a graceful and delicate one,
and Is likely 10 obtain favor on this side OF
the water.
Altelt spring Is well advanced, the
shapes in hats so far shown are but little
different from those worn during the win
ter months.
Ioques are quite popular with Young
ladies, and straw shapes with tall crowns
and rolling bums are also not little worn
Speaking Of tall hats, I do not notice
that the late agitation concerning their use
ID the theaters has at all decreased the
number worn at places Of amusement
" omen have contrary" streak runnins
through them, and they will not be induced

and oddlty Of design rather than richness
and elegance. Flowers are initiated II

which makes an excellent fertilizer for the
large sweet fodder-corn, two acrss of
which will produce, if the work is properly
done, slxty-two tons of green feed. The
green feed should be run through feed
cutter, whether green or dry. The two
acres OF corn, with four acres of meadow
cut twice, and two acres of millet and rye,
will be sufficient fodder for twelve JERSEY
grade COVE. This alludes to the green
food they viii eat, with probably "a surplus
for winter. AS green food alone is not
q sufficient ration, there should be given
each COW daily four pounds of wheat mid
dlings IN summer, and fou. pounds Of bran
with four pounds Of cornmeal in winter,
provided one-half the cows come into milk
from October TO January, the coming in of
the other half being distributed through
the balance of the year. Though winter is
the season when prices are unusually high
est, food under the soiing system is, of
course, more available III summer.
Regarding the manure, it should be
taken daily from tie stables, in the winter
season, and spread upon the land designed
for corn, while during the summer il should
De Hlposttu ana spread upon the meadows
after the second cutting. Ia arranging the
ten acres two acres are allowed for build
ngs and permanent pasture, two for Ger
man millet and winter rye, two for clover
meadow (which should be two crops in one
YEAR, two for fodder corn, and the remain
ing two, also, to be in clover meadow. The
estimated weight Of the green stuff grown
will provide So pounds Of green food daily
to each COW for 800 days, but it will be
ne essary to purchase 1874 tons of ground
grain, which would require ten ncies for
its production.
1t will be noticed that although the
method arranged for growing enough green
food on ten acres for twelve cows may be
put in practice. yet the tact that the grain
must be purchased compels the use of
twenty acres for twelve cows. But admit
ting such to be fact, it IS not every farmer
who makes twenty acres support twelve
cows. The writer of the above, by keeping
loo COWS on the prodrct of 700 acres. has
solved the problem of supporting n COW on
two acres, which has often been discussed,
and the plan recommended, coming from
one who has been so successful, is worthy
of consideration

Commissioner Colman, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in an
swer to S. Simmons, Esq, of St. Louis,
in regard TO Angora goats, writes:
ain reply to your inquiries relative to the
Angola goat, you are informed that the
species has been successfully acclimated
in many of the States, cool, dry, noun
famous region being well adapted to them.
They were first introduced into South
Carolina in 1913, into Georgia in 1854, and
subsequently spread TO the west and south
west. At present the two largest ranches
in the country are in Texas one, hat Of
Joseph z. Devine, near San Antonio, in
Bexar County; the other that of Arnold
Brothers, in Nueces Canyon, Uvaide
County-and they have from $4,000 to
5, 900 head each.
There is little doubt that the mohair in
dustry will, in the near future, be q very
important one in our mountainous districts.
The mistake generally made has been to
utilize the breed only for crossing with our
native stock. This has proven to be bad
method, as the valuable peculiarities of the
mohair deteriorate with the smallest adj
mixture of other blood; and REL Gated trials
have proved that We must limit ourselves to
preserving the species III is entire purity.
There is no great difficulty in raising the
and the climate conditions are suitable. It's
native country extends from the Black Sea
on the north to the plains Of Mesopotannia
on the south the Caspian Sea on the east
and Mediterranean on the west. But it's
peculiar domain is between thirty nine de-
prees twenty minutes and forty degrees and
thirty minutes north latitude, and between
thirty-three degrees twenty minutes and
thirt--tiv degrees east longitude, where it
is priced as an eating, milking, cheese and
butter making and clothes making animal.
The flesh Is finely developed and con-
sidered wholesome and nutritious; but in
this country the chief value will be in its
hair. which, when from pure blood, is Of
dazzling white, curled in locks eight or
nine inches long, ana as fine as silk.
In too moist an atmosphere they are sub
ieet TO Inaladieg, but are not affected IN a
dry one. Except Immediately after shear
ing, they are as tolerant of both heat and
cold as our native goats.
The pure breed could probably be OBJ
tanned from the Texas ranches, or you
could import them through the New York
houses. At Aneora they can be bought at
from "A TO Sc each, but in this country
they are much dearer, and sales have been
reported as high as 500 or over $1,000
each for exceptionally fine animals.
While | feel that this industry is des-
tined to be al important one, / should not
advise YOU 10 invest in IT, without first
thoroughly informing Yourself as to its de-
tails. and what difficulties Won would be
likely 10 encounter. which you could do by
cou ference with the owners of the ranches
in Texas.

Mr.. Elias Fox, of Wisconsin, writes the
American Bee journal as follows:
| make benches OF 2 and studding,
with four legs under each about ten inches
long, and place the hives (Which have tight
bottoms) on the benches in the cellar, re-
moving the covers ana covering the hives
with coffee sacking. Then / place on
either end of the hive sticks the length of
the width of the hive, 1t by II inches

of hives. l also leave the entrances the
same as on the summer stands. l have
wintered my bees this way for the last two
winters with good results, notwithstanding

BEE CULTURE.


And now an alleged oldest and most ex-
perienccd beekeeper" California claims,
and isroported TO have shown concusively,
that bees have the power of cuttin,, through
substances vastly more resistant than the
skins of grapes, peaches, ETC., and that only
those ignorant OF natural history can main
tain to the contrary" The fact that bees
cut through even the skin OF the grape is
not proved; but, if SO, it is generally
accepted that bees do not attack sound
fruit, but only those picked by birds or
burst from ngorgement. Nevertheless the
advice TO beekeepers to raise flowers on
which the bees may feed is good. There is
no reason why q man owning not rod of
land should keep hundred swarm of bees
to forage on his neighbors and sting frolic-
some children. Chicago Tribune.

STOCK-BREEDING.
The Heifer's First Calf

Unless especially valuable for breeding
from its pedigree, the first calf Of n heifer
had better be sold to the butcher. 1t will not
have the vigor and hardness of progeny
from the same animal when mature. 1t
will also generally be smaller. But with
pedigreed stock or that valuable from other
causes, this rule will not apply.
